How we can help with Geographic Indications (GI)

Geographic Indications (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. GIs help “brand” a product and differentiate it from other products, assuring consumers that the product is authentic and has specific characteristics due to its origin.
